Accounting Apprentice

Company description

We are a firm of accountants based in Milton Keynes. We help our clients build better businesses through our range of growth accounting services. All that we do is centred around what the client is trying to achieve – their vision. Our services all involve a great deal more conversations with our clients, much more than the traditional annual accountant.

Our values of Integrity, Collaboration and Drive underpin everything we do and who we are. They drive how we want to operate and how we help our clients.

The role

This is a key role in the business focused on working with the wider team to help build the core numbers for our clients. It is a great way to develop your understanding of Finance foundations across a range of clients, and to build your basic accounting and tax knowledge.

The idea being that you progress into being responsible for a portfolio of clients where you will help look after your clients bookkeeping, management accounts, VAT, year-end accounts, corporation tax, payroll and personal tax.   You’ll become their financial eyes and ears. 

That means you’ll need to have a desire to understand the clients and what they are trying to achieve.  You will also want to build your professional experience and exposure, including communication and organisation skills.

You’ll need to be highly organised.

You’ll need to have strong communication skills, to be clear and confident with your colleagues and with your clients.

You’ll need to invest in your own development because we will too. We’ll support you through all your training.

You’ll need to have a desire to want to help clients, to see the bigger picture, what that means for them, and how to put it all into action.

Key Requirements

• Desire to work towards a qualification (ACA, ACCA or AAT)
